Mario Figueroa; Sònia Darbra – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2025
Background: The evidence on the effect of age on the receptive and expressive language skills of individuals with Down syndrome is inconclusive. Recent research highlights the relevance of having tools to detect age-related changes in language skills. Method: Data were collected on 45 adults with Down syndrome. All were assessed with the Peabody…

Jamlick Peter Ondieki Bosire – Journal of Educational Research, 2024
This study examined the extent to which classroom quality (emotional and instructional climate) moderates the associations between teachers' beliefs about children, self-efficacy, and children's early language gains (receptive and expressive vocabulary). The study employed multilevel modeling with 606 preschool teachers and 2,536 preschool…

Pauline Maes; Chelsea La Valle; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: Nongenerative speech is the rote repetition of words or phrases heard from others or oneself. The most common manifestations of nongenerative speech are immediate and delayed echolalia, which are a well-attested clinical feature and a salient aspect of atypical language use in autism. However, there are no current estimates of…

Westerveld, Marleen F.; van Bysterveldt, Anne K. – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2022
The ability to narrate past personal events is important for classroom participation and socio-emotional wellbeing. Although school-age children with Down syndrome show significant challenges producing personal event narratives, there is little research to guide personal narrative intervention. This study used a single subject experimental design…

Coran, Monica; Rodriguez-Fornells, Antoni; Ramos-Escobar, Neus; Laine, Matti; Martin, Nadine – Topics in Language Disorders, 2020
Objective: Of current interest in aphasia research is the relevance of what we can learn from studying word learning ability in aphasia. In a preliminary study, we addressed 2 issues related to the novel word learning ability of individuals with aphasia. First, as word learning engages large-scale cognitive-linguistic systems (language skills,…

Mazurek, Micah O.; Baker-Ericzén, Mary; Kanne, Stephen M. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Despite the importance of expressive language for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), expressive language assessments are not consistently included in ASD research and many studies do not adequately describe participants' verbal abilities. A valid and efficient measure of expressive language would facilitate consistent reporting…

Yarian, Marley; Washington, Karla N.; Spencer, Caroline E.; Vannest, Jennifer; Crowe, Kathryn – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2021
Predictors of expressive grammar were compared in formal and naturalistic assessment tasks for children with typically developing (TD) language and with Developmental Langauge Disorder (DLD). Standardized expressive language assessments were administered to 110 preschoolers. The parents of these children reported whether or not they were concerned…

Li, Yangping; Kenett, Yoed N.; Hu, Weiping; Beaty, Roger E. – Creativity Research Journal, 2021
Metaphors are a common way to express creative language, yet the cognitive basis of figurative language production remains poorly understood. Previous studies found that higher creative individuals can better comprehend novel metaphors, potentially due to a more flexible semantic memory network structure conducive to remote conceptual combination.…

van Alphen, Petra; Brouwer, Susanne; Davids, Nina; Dijkstra, Emma; Fikkert, Paula – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study compares online word recognition and prediction in preschoolers with (a suspicion of) a developmental language disorder (DLD) and typically developing (TD) controls. Furthermore, it investigates correlations between these measures and the link between online and off-line language scores in the DLD group. Method: Using the…

Wang, Haiyan; Yu, Haopeng – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
This paper attempts to investigate the repetition of Relative Clauses (RCs) in Mandarin children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) (aged 4; 5 to 6; 0) and their typically developing (TD) peers. The results of a sentence repetition task indicate that Mandarin children with DLD perform significantly worse than both groups of TD children,…

Pezzino, Anne-Sophie; Marec-Breton, Nathalie; Gonthier, Corentin; Lacroix, Agnès – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Multiple factors impact reading acquisition in individuals with reading disability, including genetic disorders such as Williams syndrome (WS). Despite a relative strength in oral language, individuals with WS usually have an intellectual disability and tend to display deficits in areas associated with reading. There is substantial…

Nguyen, Tutrang; Malone, Lizabeth; Atkins-Burnett, Sally; Larson, Addison; Cannon, Judy – Administration for Children & Families, 2022
The Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES) and the American Indian and Alaska Native Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (AIAN FACES) are separate studies done successively over time. One goal for these studies is to provide a national picture of children's readiness for school. In this research brief, the authors use…

Plym, Jade; Lahti-Nuuttila, Pekka; Smolander, Sini; Arkkila, Eva; Laasonen, Marja – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Developmental language disorder (DLD) is defined by persistent difficulties with language, but a growing body of evidence suggests that it is also associated with domain-general and nonverbal information-processing deficits. However, the interconnections between cognitive functions, both nonverbal and language related, are still unclear.…

Hartley, Calum; Trainer, Alice; Allen, Melissa L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Previous studies report that minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder show impaired picture comprehension when matched to typically developing controls on language comprehension. Here, we compare "both" picture comprehension and picture production abilities in linguistically delayed children with autism spectrum disorder…

Zebib, Racha; Tuller, Laurice; Hamann, Cornelia; Abed Ibrahim, Lina; Prévost, Philippe – First Language, 2020
Sentence repetition (SR) tasks have been shown to be excellent indicators of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). However, there is still no consensus about which core ability they measure: language vs. Verbal Short-Term Memory (VSTM) and Verbal Working Memory (WM). Moreover, very few studies have investigated whether variables predicting SR…
